Puppy Love

I know I've mentioned it a few times, but Jolie really loves our dog, Ranger.  When Jolie first came home from the hospital, she and Ranger were not the least bit interested in each other.

Five-day-old Jolie with Ranger

Over the last few months they have become very aware of each other. Jolie's eyes are always following Ranger and she reaches for him if he is anywhere near her.  Ranger is very sweet to Jolie and tolerates her not-so-gentle petting and grabbing.  If we don't respond immediately when Jolie cries Ranger comes to get us as if to say, "Don't you hear my baby crying!"

Ranger is a very smart, very talented dog.  We, especially his trainer, Cole, are very proud of his many tricks.  Jolie's new favorite entertainment is to watch Ranger spin and jump before catching his frisbee or ball.  We now often go to the backyard to calm a fussy Jolie!

This is a sweet video of Jolie laughing at Ranger.  Unfortunately Jolie's laugh is a little hard to hear and her mom is way too loud in the video.....Oh well, it's still pretty cute!
